From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yugntruf – Youth for Yiddish (יוגנטרוף — יוגנט פֿאַר ייִדיש) is an organization of young Yiddish-speaking adults that is dedicated to the spread of the Yiddish language through various programs and events. It was founded by David Roskies, Gabi Trunk and Faye Ran under the guidance of the late Dr. Mordkhe Schaechter in 1964.

Yugntruf (יוגנטרוף) means “call of [the] youth”[1] and “call to youth”.[2][3]

It combines the words yugnt (יוגנט, “youth; the young”) and ruf (רוף, “call”, cognate of German Ruf).[3]
